Yes. It's shag carpeting on the backrest. Carpet.
I have no idea if this was a stock thing back in 1983. I remember a lot about 1983 and I do remember carpet being a little bit crazy back then, but on the back of a backrest on a motorcycle? I have no idea what possible purpose this could serve. A place to tack notes to drivers behind to mind their distance? A place to put your A-B-C AlreadyBeenChewed gum? Maybe a nice, soft, comforting place to grab ahold of for those passengers less-inclined to being there in the first place.
I know one thing. I am going to enjoy exploring this machine. And equally enjoy removing such silliness.
Though I do plan on mounting the Guinness bottle opener I purchased in Ireland last year somewhere useful. After all, she will be a cafe racer soon enough. And that's my kind of silliness.
